I haven't seen such a broken site (for me) in a few years.
That's quite hard on a one-man show which is in the edge of not requiring flash, for requiring flash.
I would reserve such harsh criticism for sites I have to visit and which are not even intended to work: city council, theatre box office, local public library. Heck, even the London Olympics user experience was broken, I read.
- jbaudanza 14y agoThanks for the support, I appreciate it. The non-flash experience does leave a lot to be desired. As you know, I always have to weigh investing time improving it vs improving something else. But I realize that isn't much consolation to the end user. One of the difficult parts is actually detecting if flash is blocked at all. If the user has Google Chrome's built-in plugin blocker, I don't think it's possible to distinguish between a blocked plugin or a slow loading plugin.
- nhebb 14y agoI don't think you need to bother. People who have flash blockers know that they have flash blockers. We see dull gray squares all over the internet.
- wink 14y agoExactly this. I'm not implying I'm entitled to special handling, just stating the fact that this page, unlike any other with flash I've used in the last years, doesn't let me use my flash blocker in the usual way - I would have to whitelist the page.
